I’ve got a set of high vis over trousers that come out in extremis.
What I want is something that is at least water resistant, stretchy and takes a knee pad, mascot make some really nice trousers that almost fit the bill, but they’re such a skinny fit that they fit around my bits so precisely that nothing is left to the imagination with regards to my anatomy.

High thread count trousers might be water-resistant, just because of the tight weave, but won't stretch.
It's like walking trousers. Make a choice.
Lightweight and stretchy.
Water resistant/windproof but not stretchy.
Waterproof but solid PVC.
I'd love to see something that fits all in workwear, there may well be, but it'll be eyewateringly expensive and knackered really quickly when onsite.
Work uniform isn't meant to last for long after all. It gets chucked in a washing machine at least once a week and is worn 5 days a week.
I go through at least 3 or 4 sets every year.

Snickers trousers fit that bill will eventually get wet but not really from spray.
Also @edmundro avoid rigger boots, one rolled and snapped ankle away from a serious situation in A&E, I’ve banned them in every department I’ve ran and know they’re banned on a few more forward thinking sites and most oil rigs.

No. Not really.
Even full-on mountaineering kecks aren't fully waterproof. Get a pair of Berghaus Deluge if you want cheap but I wouldn't use them for a worksite personally.

Or look at what North Sea Fisher Crews use but they won't be breathable in the slightest.
